He was still looking after her when footsteps sounded in the hall.

The four footsteps he heard sounded like those of something very heavy.

But he was alone, and no footsteps sounded in the hall.

The footsteps sounded as if they were directly above her now.

Light footsteps sounded, coming across the living room to the kitchen door.

Footsteps sounded directly above and to the right of her head.

Footsteps sounded as the two men walked from the living room.

It was well he did, for at that moment footsteps sounded outside the door.

He was writing another letter when footsteps sounded outside his door.

As if in answer to his statement, footsteps sounded outside the room.
